Picture: Rachel Luna\/Getty Images<\/p>\n The home was originally listed for the much higher price of $US28.9 million, months before Keaton\u2019s death. Picture: Realtor<\/p>\n Now, the \u201crare architectural masterpiece,\u201d which the Oscar-winner spent eight years renovating, has been listed once again, with the description hailing the work that the \u201cHollywood icon\u201d did to transform the once run-down abode into \u201csomething truly special\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cNestled in the heart of prestigious Sullivan Canyon, one of LA\u2019s most revered equestrian enclaves, the residence is not only grand but extremely private and eclectic,\u201d the listing notes.<\/p>\n While the listing does not mention Keaton by name, it praises the meticulous way in which she overhauled the property, using materials of the highest quality to create a truly artistic sanctuary.<\/p>\n \u201cFeatured in the acclaimed Rizzoli book, The House That Pinterest Built, the estate has been celebrated in numerous design publications and appreciated by those who recognise its artistry,\u201d it goes on. <\/p>\n \u201cThis residence is more than its architecture and craftsmanship. It is a reflection of care, creativity, and a life lived with intention.\u201d<\/p>\n The home was quietly delisted just two weeks before the actress died of pneumonia. Picture: Realtor<\/p>\n The Sullivan Canyon property was the subject of Keaton\u2019s acclaimed book, The House That Pinterest Built. Picture: Realtor<\/p>\n The latest listing also offers a much more intimate look inside the property courtesy of the new images that have been added, which perfectly capture Keaton\u2019s incredibly unique design style.<\/p>\n While the exterior features a very traditional red brick facade, the interior follows a much funkier black-and-white theme that carries throughout the majority of the main living spaces.<\/p>\n \u201cThe estate is adorned with thousands of hand-selected vintage Chicago bricks and a mix of reclaimed materials that define its unmistakeable character,\u201d the listing description notes. \u201cCascading beams frame the kitchen and living spaces, setting the tone for a home that feels both distinctive and intimate.\u201d<\/p>\n In the main living space, enormous built-in shelves have been accessorised with all manner of collectable items and books, while the living room has a distinctive white brick wall that frames an enormous wood-burning fireplace.<\/p>\n The kitchen is lit with huge skylights that accentuate the natural wood beams and bring a beautiful bright feeling into the space.<\/p>\n Diane Keaton spent eight years renovating the home. Picture: Realtor<\/p>\n An office room has been turned into what looks like a living Pinterest board. Picture: Realtor<\/p>\n One of the more unique areas in the home is a circular space in which the walls have been covered with the words from author Gerald Stern\u2019s poem, Lucky Life, following the curve of the room as it sweeps around.<\/p>\n Another quote can be found at the top of the stairs, where the walls have been covered with the words: \u201cLook, we don\u2019t have that much time.\u201d<\/p>\n An office room has been turned into what looks like a living Pinterest board, with an entire wall covered in magazine clippings, pieces of art, framed photographs, and an enormous black poster with \u201c1948\u201d written on it in huge white lettering.<\/p>\n Throughout her career, Keaton \u2014 who had two adopted children, daughter Dexter, 29, and son Duke, 25 \u2014 moved multiple times, developing a love of purchasing older homes, renovating them, and then selling them.<\/p>\n One of the more unique areas in the home is a circular space in which the walls have been covered with the words from author Gerald Stern\u2019s poem, Lucky Life. Picture: Realtor<\/p>\n However, when she found her five-bedroom, seven-bathroom 1920s-era Sullivan Canyon abode, she explained that it was the first time she had considered actually settling down for more than a few years.<\/p>\n Keaton spent a staggering eight years on a gut renovation of the home, which effectively saw her rebuilding it from the ground up, a process that she documented in her 2017 book.<\/p>\n The book focused on Keaton\u2019s new-found love of the photo-sharing site and how it helped to inspire her creativity when it came to the design of the dwelling\u2019s interior. The renovation also ended up becoming even more poignant for Keaton as time went on.<\/p>\n While discussing the release of the book, Keaton spoke about how much she had grown to love the home, conceding in one interview that she had struggled to ever find a property that truly felt like a place she could live forever \u2014 that is until she came across the Sullivan Canyon abode.<\/p>\n She explained to Wine Spectator that she has always had \u201can interest in homes and the concept of home,\u201d but noted that she had always struggled to \u201cland and stay\u201d because she always found something wrong with the property.<\/p>\n Another quote can be found at the top of the stairs, where the walls have been covered with the words: \u201cLook, we don\u2019t have that much time.\u201d Picture: Realtor<\/p>\n The estate is adorned with thousands of hand-selected vintage Chicago bricks and a mix of reclaimed materials. Picture: Realtor<\/p>\n In the case of her Sullivan Canyon house, however, something was different.<\/p>\n \u201cSomething\u2019s right, because I love it,\u201d the actress said, calling the property her \u201cdream home\u201d.<\/p>\n The Annie Hall star revealed that her purchase of the property was inspired by her love of The Three Little Pigs, which her mother read to her when she was a child \u2014 and which cemented her dream of living in a brick home when she grew up.<\/p>\n Although the home is located in Los Angeles, Keaton explained that much of the design was inspired by her former New York City apartment, a historical space located in a 1930s beaux arts building, which she moved into in the 1970s.<\/p>\n Keaton spent a staggering eight years on a gut renovation of the home. Picture: Realtor<\/p>\n The actress prioritised quality, using the finest of materials throughout the property. Picture: Realtor<\/p>\n \u201cIt was one of those remarkable apartments,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n \u201cThere was a window on every side. Everything was wide open. That was the beginning of my true interest in architecture.\u201d<\/p>\n When Keaton finished the home renovation, having been first introduced to Pinterest by her longtime collaborator, director Nancy Meyers, she moved in with her children and the family\u2019s golden retriever, Emma.<\/p>\n Both of her children have largely stayed out of the spotlight, with Keaton explaining to People magazine<\/a> in 2007: \u201cThey have no interest in what I do, which I think is very healthy. We live a relatively normal \u2014 well, sort of normal \u2014 life.\u201d<\/p>\n Keaton adopted both of her kids after moving back to Los Angeles from New York in the 1980s, having admitted that she didn\u2019t initially think motherhood was something she would ever be ready for.<\/p>\n \u201cCascading beams frame the kitchen and living spaces, setting the tone for a home that feels both distinctive and intimate,\u201d the listing notes. Picture: Realtor<\/p>\n Outside, the home has a traditional red brick facade. Picture: Realtor<\/p>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t think that I was ever going to be prepared to be a mother,\u201d she told Ladies\u2019 Home Journal in 2008. <\/p>\n \u201cMotherhood was not an urge I couldn\u2019t resist, it was more like a thought I\u2019d been thinking for a very long time. So I plunged in.\u201d<\/p>\n But far from creating a more traditional family home for her children, Keaton built multiple, buying up a number of homes \u2014 including several mid-century modern treasures that were designed by architect Lloyd Wright, son of Frank Lloyd Wright.<\/p>\n The first home she snapped up after she returned to the West Coast in the late 1980s was the Samuel-Novarro house, a property designed by Wright in 1928. <\/p>\n She overhauled the home, taking steps to carefully restore much of the original work, before selling it just five years later.<\/p>\n In 2007, she purchased another of Wright\u2019s homes in the Pacific Palisades, carrying out an incredible restoration of the abode to restore its original glory.<\/p>\n Records indicate that she sold the dwelling in 2010. However, the property was most recently listed in February of this year, before being taken off the market a few months later.<\/p>\n Parts of this story first appeared in Realtor<\/a> and was republished with permission.<\/p>\n MORE: \u2018Scared\u2019 Ledger\u2019s secret fortune exposed \u2018Sad\u2019, alone: Jack Nicholson reclusive life now<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
